I just saw The Bishop's Wife the other day for the first time in many years, so it was like new all over again.
A Christmas Story and Alastair Sim's in A Christmas Carol are my best favorites. When I was little we were at the Grand's for Christmas. My little bro, I, and at least 2 cousins had already been put to bed Christmas eve. Someone came running upstairs and woke us up. Quick Quick-like. I thought the house was on fire or Santa had Really come to our house!! It was the first time I watched A Christmas Carol on the old black and white. New story to me, obviously. Also a very Scary story for a 7-8 year old.
We are a "Bing Crosby" family. At some point someone digs out dvd's of Both Holiday Inn and White Christmas, whether we've seen them on tv this year or not.
